"...Ramage and a few of his QPR team-mates will be overseas in Las Vegas when the Geordies head into their final day showdown on Sunday afternoon, but the defender is determined to find a TV set to watch all the action unveil.
"I'll find a TV to watch it on even if it's the last thing I do," he said.
"If I wasn't on holiday I'd be at Villa Park, but the rest of the lads going away know I'm mad about watching it, so I'm sure we'll find somewhere to see it, whether it's a casino or elsewhere!"

EXCLUSIVE: RAMAGE ROOTING FOR GEORDIES
Posted on: Wed 20 May 2009
R's defender and boyhood Newcastle United fan Peter Ramage is 'quietly confident' the Geordies will survive their final day battle to beat the drop on Sunday.
Alan Shearer's side travel to Aston Villa knowing they must better Hull City's result at home to Manchester United to have any chance of staving off the threat of relegation from the top-flight.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, the 25 year-old - who made 51 starts for the Geordies prior to joining the R's on a free transfer last summer - was somewhat self-assured in his pre-match prediction, commenting: "If I'm totally honest, I'm quietly confident, just because Hull have got United and they're unbelievable, regardless of which side Sir Alex picks.

"I went to the Newcastle-Fulham match on Saturday, as well as the Middlesbrough game a week or so ago, and I've seen enough of Newcastle to say they'll just about survive.
"It was a bit 'after the lord mayor's show' on Saturday to be perfectly honest, but we created chances and had a dodgy goal disallowed, so it could have been so different.
"We didn't get the rub of the green, but it's all set up nicely for Sunday now."
Ramage added: "I saw a few of the Newcastle lads in town on Saturday night after the Fulham game and although they're not happy, they believe they can get out of it.
"There's an air of optimism around the city, but that's Geordies for you isn't it!"

Despite his optimism, Ramage admits to 'mixed feelings' when it comes to the situation he finds himself in.
"I'd love to go back and play at St James Park next season - but in one of the Cup competitions ideally," he said.
"I want to go back there as a Premier League Club one day with Rangers and hopefully that'll be season 2010/11, with them a having secured their status this season and us having got promoted next season!"
